| #1 For half of a bonus point:
Correctly identify at least half of the people (yourself and the
instructor included) on the page of photos without names for your
class. If you correctly identify 100% of the people in the photos, you
get one whole bonus point. The photos will be on our class web page.
The list of all names will be handed out in class one day (you have to
be there on that day) and you will be given time in class to complete
the
page. This Bonus Point Opportunity expires on whatever day I hand out the list in class. You only get one attempt at this one. |
| #2 For half of a bonus point: Keep
our class web page accurate and keep me honest. Be the first to point
out an error (typographical error, bad link, erroneous information,
etc.) in
our class web pages. Email me at theresa@unt.edu. Be sure to give the
URL
of the page, plus a thorough description of the problem, plus your
first
and last name and which section you're in. This Bonus Point Opportunity expires at midnight, Wednesday, December 7, 2005. (NOTE: You can accumulate as many of these as possible...I need all the help I can get.) |
| #3 For two bonus points: The
abacus is considered one of the first "computers" created by humans.
Though it
has no mechanical parts, it is a device used by humans to make
computing
faster. Learn how to use an abacus to count, to add, and to subtract.
Make
a 5 minute appointment with Miss Overall to demonstrate how to solve
these
problems on an abacus: 3+4, 9+2, 21+5, 36+8, 159+63, 12-6, 89-4, and
477-68.
Miss Overall has a Chinese abacus in her office that you can use. A fun
website that can help you learn about all types of abacuses (abaci?) is
located at: http://www.ee.ryerson.ca:8080/~elf/abacus/
This Bonus Point Opportunity expires at midnight, Wednesday, December 7, 2005. |
| #4 For half of a bonus
point: Help keep our class resources pages up-to-date
and useful. If you find a valuable resource that should be added to any
of our pages, send an email with a 1-2 sentence description, the URL,
and
the web page (and category if appropriate) in which you think it
belongs (use the categories that
already exist on the pages). If I agree that it's valuable (this is
totally subjective), you will get the half point. This Bonus Point Opportunity expires at midnight, Wednesday, December 7, 2005. You may earn a maximum of 3 points (6 accepted resources) in this category. |
